About the Author
Meet Dorothy L. Hernandez
Dorothy L. Hernandez grew up wandering the sunlit hills of southern Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, picking wildflowers and chasing daydreams. That same childhood wonder still sparkles in her voice and shines brightly through every story she tells today.
“They are the tender young buds that blossom in the night… and if I have touched but one little heart, then I will have made life worthwhile.”
In Alpha and Omega, Dorothy blends science fantasy with heartfelt storytelling, bringing dinosaurs, distant planets, and small-town wonder to life. Illustrated by Mary Redman, it captures the imagination she has cherished since early childhood.
